I love it when people talk about the stock market as if it were some big battle between bulls and bears. It’s so silly.

It's going above, but it's probably sideways. And eventually, later this year, when it becomes obvious consumers are tapped, inflation isn't at 2%, and the Fed is not cutting rates, the hopium exhausts.

Dude, you redrew the trendline. Today was a clear breakout.

That said, I'm bearish. I'm expecting volume to pick up now, probably higher volume and higher prices till we come to a blow off top near the Aug peak of spy 426-ish. I'll be buying puts and add more to my portfolio as we over-extend upwards.

I'm seeing a dip followed by a mega rally after the Feb 1st fomc, leading into that blow off top. That said, if it's 25bps and a dovish jpow, we rally right then into the blow off top. Either way, next week will be an exciting one; I can roll my existing puts if it's 50bps/25 and a hawkish jpow or double down if it's 25bps and a dovish jpow.

Invalidation of my thesis would be 50bps and a continued rally closing the week green (invalidation towards the upside) or 25bps + dovish tone and a dump closing the week red (invalidation toward the 200 day moving average).

I hope it runs into next week so J Pow has to stomp it down.

Oh cool, just keep angling that trendline up a lil bit every day. Doesn't matter that it's barely touching anything any more.

For me it is just impossible to short the stocks. My brain just can not compute that red is good 😂 I have tried and failed.

I am realizing what diamond hands mean and it’s excruciating. Is the market irrational yet? LCID and btc and tsla going up in a parabolic spike?
